with.  There is of course the problem that there is a long list of packages
so it will take time.  I expect another problem is that the new threshold
may have to be retroactively applied in the case of this package.

In any event, once Timo's issue is addressed, he can change his vote and
the package should be promoted.

 The main problem still is not enough people doing testing. The discussion =
